Madame Blueberry

We spent the evening Thursday chasing chickens and planting blueberry bushes.
Grace did most of the chicken chasing that is... she has a ball chasing the Ladies around.


The funny thing is, they don't really seem to mind her as much as one would think they would (or should if they were smart!).



We bought four blueberry bushes to put in the ground... 2 Blueray and 2 Brigette Blueberries. Both are high bushes - that means they ground like a regular bush - not a woody vine like a blackberry bush. It will take a few years for them to start fruiting, but it will be worth it!

Most berry bushes do require a little prep time before fruiting... I know strawberries usually do (at least the larger fruiters do) as well as many raspberries... so, if you want berries anytime soon, get to planting them pronto! Next year, we plan to add strawberries and raspberries (if I can even wait that long to add them!
